Keyword search, string search & page search would be important for navigation & reference purposes.

Then definitely TTS needs to be included, with the ability to adjust items such as voice rate, pitch, etc. Also, the ability to sync speech with highlighting is important.

That would be good, more what I am looking for is accessibility to consum the content. Such as background color change, text to speach capability and the like. The content will not be usable with external AT in the early stages.
